I’m Cycling Around The World On a TALLBIKE // Tall Bike Tour [Ep.1]

On the 21st of January 2022, I left my home in England to cycle around the world... on a Tallbike. Little did I know I’d still be cycling more than a year and a half later, and even adopt a stray puppy along the way... but that’s for later. This first video, albeit more than a year late, is about the beginning of the trip, and how the idea of this journey came about. It explores life on a tallbike since I was 15 years old in 2018, including the whole process of preparing and leaving to begin this tour. In this series there will be 10 episodes, documenting the first 70 days on the tallbike until Bulgaria, with more videos to come once I have the time to edit them. As I am writing this, I am in Armenia and crossing into Iran tomorrow, so rest assured there will be much more to watch over the coming year & beyond. So without further ado, please enjoy the much-belated first episode of the ’Tall Bike Tour’ series. And if you enjoy this video, please consider liking & subscribing - this will support us and allow us to continue our journey around the world. Can’t wait until the next episode? The entire Tall Bike Tour series is available NOW (20/09) to all monthly Ko-Fi supporters: ______________________________________________ CHAPTERS: 00:00 Intro 00:30 Background & History 01:50 The Plan 02:19 Leaving Home 03:20 Boarding The Ferry 04:19 Entering The Netherlands 04:54 Amsterdam 05:33 Workaway 06:34 Beginning The Tour 07:41 Meeting Freakbikers 08:11 Utrecht 09:23 Day 3 10:29 Into Germany 10:48 Hosted in Germany 11:06 Trying The Tallbike 13:11 Day 4 13:26 Stopped By Police 13:36 Next Time ______________________________________________ ✍🏼SUBSCRIBE: @tallbiketour?sub_confirmation=1 ✔ SUPPORT US: Paypal - (Make a one-off Donation): Ko-Fi - (Buy us a Coffee or become a supporter): Monthly Supporters will get: - Early access to all future videos - Access to all 10 episodes of the series (NOW) - On-screen mentions in videos - Custom Postcards sent to them from each country we pass through ✈ FOLLOW US: Instagram (The Tour): Instagram (Nova): Facebook: 💌 Get a CUSTOM POSTCARD from us: ______________________________________________ 🚲 GEAR: 📷 CAMERAS EDITING: Camera - Canon G7X (UK): (US): (DE): GoPro - Hero 11 Black (UK): (US): (DE): Drone - Dji Mini 2 (UK): (US): (DE): Voiceover Mic - Rode VideoMicro (UK): (US): (DE): Editing SSD - Samsung T7 SSD 2TB (UK): (US): (DE): Storage HDD (x2) - WD My Passport 4TB (UK): (US): (DE): GoPro Media Mod - to use external Mic (UK): (US): (DE): Power Bank (x4) - Anker PowerCore (UK): (US): (DE): Solar Panel - Anker 24W (UK): (US): (DE): Charging Hub - Anker PowerPort Speed 5 (UK): (US): (DE): 🏕️CAMPING GEAR: Tent - Vaude Taurus 2P (UK): (US): (DE): Mattress - Klymit Static V2 (UK): (US): (DE): Chair - Helinox Chair One (UK): (US): (DE): 🚴🏼‍♂️ ON THE TALLBIKE: Tyres - Schwalbe Marathon Mondial EVO DD 26“ (UK): (US): (DE): Saddle - Brooks B17 Imperial (UK): (US): (DE): Pump - Topeak Road Morph G (UK): (US): (DE): ⚙️ OTHER: Dry Bags - Karrimor (UK): Sandals - Keen Targhee III (UK): (US): *Some of these are affiliate links - this means that if you purchase something, I will receive a small commission of no expense to you. ______________________________________________ 🎥 All shots are my own, there is no stock footage.
